Opposing coaches loved harping to running back prospects about why they shouldn't attend Ohio State. After all, did they know, Urban Meyer had never produced a 1,000-yard rushing running back?
Wow, were those quaint and simple times.
A year after Carlos "El Guapo" Hyde bulldozed his way to 1,000 yards, Ezekiel Elliott topped the thousand-yard mark today with this scamper against Indiana:
While no defensive awards will ever be given for the defense played against this run, all the points (and yards) count the same.
Cheers to Ezekiel Elliott, who certainly has another few thousand yards left in the tank.
